    Titanium dioxide (TiO₂) has long been used for its ability to create bright white color and opacity in food products. However, growing regulatory scrutiny and consumer concern around potential health risks are driving the need for safer alternatives. Innophos’ new VersaCal® Bright calcium phosphate delivers a powerful solution: a clean-label, multifunctional ingredient that provides the whitening properties of TiO₂ while adding calcium and phosphorous.

    Approved by the FDA as a color additive for select food applications—including donut sugar, sugar for coated candies, white candy melts, and ready-to-eat chicken. VersaCal® Bright enables manufacturers to meet evolving regulatory standards and clean label demands without compromising visual appeal or product quality. Backed by scientific data on color consistency, stability, and sensory performance, VersaCal® Bright helps formulators transition away from TiO₂ with confidence, addressing potential consumer health concerns and supporting product innovation.
